Well, that surely didn’t go as planned. Winning in the NFL is difficult enough. Coughing up a lead does not get you into football heaven. Here are some of the takeaways from the Seattle Seahawks loss to Tennessee.
Those expletives you here are coming from Seattle Seahawks country. Winning in the NFL is a very difficult challenge. So, when a team coughs up a lead, its fan base does plenty of cursing. Along with a lot of blaming of the head coach and quarterback.
While some of this is deserved, they do after all get all the credit for the victories, they are not solely at fault in the defeats. Football is one of the, if not the, ultimate team sport in American sports. Having had a chance to sleep on the game, let’s cue up your heartbreak playlist and dive into this painful loss.
D.K. Metcalf APB
BREAKING NEWS: NFL and Seattle Seahawk wide receiver D.K. Metcalf is currently missing. Last seen racing in an Olympic qualification race and finishing near the back. If you have seen or have any information on his whereabouts, please contact the Seattle Seahawks immediately.
Alright, so that may be a little bit extreme as Metcalf has been productive in the two games. Even outside of the box score. Currently averaging eight targets a game with five catches for 55-yards and 0.5 touchdowns a game. Being, able to take two defenders away on every play means there is a one-on-one matchup somewhere else.
So far that has been Tyler Lockett (more on him in a bit). However, the Seattle Seahawks and 12’s have come to expect more from Metcalf, as has he. It’s great he wants to take down Calvin Johnson’s record. It’s another to actually do it. Right now, Metcalf is only slightly closer than you and I to actually breaking that record.
Infuriating to some is the amount of talking and diva attitude he is currently displaying. As previously mentioned, accounting for being double-covered on every play, while still making the catches he does, is very difficult. It’d be something different if his current antics and production came against one-on-one coverage.
